How is it that VAR allowed at some grounds, not at others? So much for level playing fields.....

Because the PL will have it from next season, all those grounds have been cleared by the FA and set up for its use, but Swansea would have had to apply seperately which they chose not to do.

Given some of the decisions Liverpool have been the beneficiary of this season, it’s a bit rich to be complaining :wink:

If the game was last season they would have had VAR there. The lack of VAR could have helped Swansea as much as it did city of course!
back to Liverpool Cyril, why didn’t Salah get a penalty v Bayern? Was it because he stayed on his feet?

Salah’s a diver, can’t wait to fall over when he’s in the box, but I agree that officials don’t help when they don’t give obvious penalties, it just encourages players to simulate and exaggerate contact.

Yet he has never been booked for simulation unlike someone from Spurs.....just saying. He makes the most of being fouled to ensure refs don’t miss it. Massive difference to being a tool like those who are booked. Suarez certainly dived - but he isn’t a lfc later, so I am happy to cricticise him now!

For the record, I wish players didn’t ‘buy’ penalties and I think VAR will stop it fouls are still given when players do stay vertical. Like Salah v Bayern.
